Please note: **beach bonfires** **are not permitted** anywhere in Santa Barbara County. (They are only permitted in certain places anywhere in California.)

Located in the Santa Ynez Valley, you may choose your degree of difficulty (easy, moderate, or strenuous.) You must register in advance online.
